Today's my birthday I'm 61 I can remember as a young boy dancing to the songs with my sister and my mom I'll treasure this forever

The 60's had the best music, EVER!!!!!!!!!

Aaaahhhhh ......the wonderful sixties....never again,for teenagers it was magical,steady stream of classic hits!

You just can’t beat the music of the 60’s for fabulous music. Never dates !

Started high school 1959 good years good times good country hood respect good people.WHAT HAPPENED WORLD DID NOT CHANGE BUT PEOPLE DID. NEVER SEE THOSE DAYS AGAIN.

This brought me back to being an 8 year old playing outside with my transistor radio. Good times!

Was a teenager during the ‘60’s . Best music , best sport viewing , vacations , freedom ... fantastic time to grow up . I consider myself so very lucky .

1965, number one hits, rock, pop, r&b, diversity in this great era of rock and roll, all these songs are classics

Wonderful memories from my 13th year. The '60s can never be matched!

Thank God l grow up listening to these fantastic songs now l am 60 l get the pleasure of listening all over again on you tube it takes me back to my childhood

What a great time to be alive. I was born in 1947 on Christmas, I left school just before my 15th birthday (because I had a job to go to) I first heard Love me do by the Beatles in the works canteen, from then music was so different from what we were used to. Elvis started the transition along with others but Elvis was the catalyst. The Beatles made the real change and I bought a motor scooter, a Vespa GS 160, I had all of the trimmings, the fly screen, the lights the fairing, everything to look flash, it was great to pull the girls(which was the main reason to become a Mod) we used to get paid on Friday`s and we used to go away as a group, normally six of us and we would meet other Mods, go to parties (we could take the parka`s off and be in our suits) pick up the girls, if we had no parties we would sleep on beaches. Music was our main thing but it was like being in a big club. Even the seaside battles between the mods and the rockers were all overhyped by the press and not as bad as it was reported. I know I was there for all of them. The sixties was a great time to be young, life was a lot simpler then and we all enjoyed our lives. These days it seems as though people cant have a night out without causing trouble or somebody being stabbed, we never had that, a fight was just that between two people. We all collected the music that we liked and I had all of the Beatles albums.

Memories, oh so many memories of my teens, great music and I had the time of my life. I’ll never forget it. Seen so many of these people live.

R.I.P. Mary Wilson. You were part of one of the all time great music acts in American entertainment history! Love The Beatles, but The Supremes will always have a special place in my heart. Hell, they were Ed Sullivan's favorite musical group! Would you believe their 17 appearances on his BIG SHOE are the most of any group during the 50's and 60's Rock & Roll Era! 😎🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂😍

What a great year! The era of British invasion and Motown music in USA. I love to relive it.

How blessed to have been a 10 year old kid during this wonderful time of music. WOW..so many great songs. Many songs that I played in bands for years!

What a wonderful mix. Makes me happy I lived then and sad all was lost. Thank you again!!

I am 70 & remember this MUSIC like I was there now,

I still have all my 45’s & when my granddaughter comes down we play them! 1965 was high school, saw the Beatles at Maple Leaf Gardens...great times!

I was a freshman in 1960. Best music ever made from then to the 80's. There are still good songs Coming out now, but BIG difference in a good song then and a good song now. Whole different level.

Wow! I remember my older sister playing these songs on records. I was 10 yrs young at the time. I enjoyed these songs all of them. I heard : " Help Me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys at a school Pep Ralley in the school Gymnasium. Cool! Thanks!

Beatles for ever!Love !

The Beatles..."I feel fine" "Eight days a week" "Ticket to ride" Help" and "Yesterday" That`s a whole career for any other band, but only just another year for the Beatles! Amazing. They literally ruled the world in the 60`s...

That was great music in the late 50’s early 60’s Nd early 70’s. The teens now mss out of good music and great movies.

60s my generation. What a great time to grow up in America 🇺🇸 💙

Best days of my lifetime . ALL OF THE 60S. All the garage/patio parties/Dick Dale at Harmony park, all the greatness. I think I'm stuck in the 60s without an apology.

This is great music,glad I was a teen during this time

The best yrs of my life brilliant memories never ever to be forgotten great music great times ❤️❤️❤️😢

thanks you tube for bring me joy in my life at my old age going back to hi school and our music when the beatles were youngsters

so pleased to be part of this earra i really love the 60s

I was a teenager in the 60s pushing 72 now of all the decades I’ve lived through that’s the one that I have the best memories of it was orgasmic

1965 was an absolutely awesome and memorable year in the history of popular music! So many quality hits came out then.

Real music- no autotune, which just makes a bad vocalist sound worse. Real voices, real emotion, real real music!

Absolutely the best decade in music history, the Beatles and Motown ruled the day.

i`m now 69 and cry that these times are gone forever,

I guess I’m growing old because I love the 60’s and 70’s music! Today’s music not for me!

W 1965 zaczynałem słychać tej muzyki 🤫😄👍💪

An absolute special time to be growing up----Will NEVER be duplicated.

This music is a therapy 50 years later.

I was in another 🎶 world 🎶when my father bought me my first transistor radio (Philco) back in 1964.

Loved the 60's, so glad I was there. Never be again but can always go back for a while❤❤

as an australian who turned 16 in 1965 these are some great overseas hits of that year. of course i also remember all our australian hits of the 60's.

Im 18 yrs old and I felt some connection to each of these songs.

Left San Diego in May 1965, to move to Detroit. Love this music!

OH GOD ..The sounds of our innocence...please someone -bring them back

so happy/lucky to have grown up in the 60's. :)

That was one of the best years ever to turn 13...finally a "teenager," and the Junior High School Dances were the best. I really loooooooooooooove looking back at all these great songs of the 50's and 60's. (DH, Oklahoma City, 8.25.19)

I didnt realize till now that '65 was a pretty good year for music.

1965...That was SOME year in the history of pop music! This is music that really goes straight to...and from...the soul. I don't think I'm being a grumpy old man to say that there is no comparison these days to this level of achievement.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons had many hits still immortalized the the Hit Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS.

Man, there were a lot of good songs that year.

I am still listening to these hits everywhere I go ' coz they were in my i-pod. They bring back lots of memories. Love them all. I was born in 1955. Great job. Congrats!

Wonderful songs, beautiful music, evergreens!! And as we always have to mention it, the American playlists were always one year behind the British charts!! 🤗✌️

Not only am I so happy I was born in the greatest decade ever but I was born on the greatest year with the greatest music 60s were the best

What a great year for music. So much diversity.

It was a very good year in music. I played a few of these songs on my acoustic guitar. Now if only that damned war in Southeast Asia wasn’t creeping up on me.

I was 13 in 65. The Beatles, Herman's Hermits, The Monkees, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Neil Diamond...... Saw them all live.

There are many rare, true live performances in this video, including the ones by Supremes, the Four Tops, The Byrds, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, and the electric Yesterday.

Like A Rolling Stone was released that year. Hard to believe it wasn't a #1.

Wow-the Supremes really gave the Beatles a run for their money back in 1965 with four no. 1 hits! Had never known that till now.

Great year for music! 1965 rocks Love this post. Thanks so much.

I was 10 years old in 65’ and I remember being there, I bought my first 45 that summer. Sonny & Cher, I got you babe

I lived it. Remember all these songs!

I was living in Cleveland this year and I was 16. We used to drive my parents car up to Detroit a lot, too. The music that was coming out with the British Invasion, Motown and rock and roll was just incredible. As you can see here, there were a lot of different kinds of music playing. People were starting to get into the blues early on and a lot of bands played blues tunes with a modern twist. The Beatles were leading the charge but soon there were lots of bands doing their own things. It kind of exploded that year and went on until about 1970. I mean the wide variety of music. A great soundtrack to my life. I like all music including opera and sypmphony, but I always come back to this era to listen to some raw rock and roll. Led Zeppelin carried on into the 70s and so did a lot of new bands. We need more public music events, more rock in the park and stuff like that. We do it with art and statues, why don't we do it with music. It's something that's primal to us.

Five #1 for Beatles and the Supremes. . . . . .Indeed, when music was music. I love the dance by the Temptation and Four Tops. Where did our music go . . . .

I have 23/27 of the #1 hits from 1965 in my collection! Only missing I'm Telling You Now; Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter; I'm Henry VIII I Am; and Over & Over.

poor kids today will never have new real music again, rock and roll was the classical music of are time, thank god we had the tech at the time to record it all

Love the oldies , grew up listening to these songs

This was great. It was a healthy dose of each song and NOBODY talking over the song!

Was there for all of it. I'm in my late 60's now and what a time it was.

Great compilation! Amazing how olds songs can instantly transport you back in time - recall what you were doing, who you were with, etc..

I might be old, but at least I grew up with REAL music, not the crap of today.

Sorted by increasing datesFar better than the chart numbers!! Those of us old enough to remember that year, as we heard it on AM radio, should appreciate this!! Thanks!

The Beatles!! and the rest......

The 60s music was incredible growing up I thought this was going to be what music would be, sadly I was wrong, Beatles were the Trail Blazers

Was six, and been listening to this music ever since.

I won't put down the music today but I can say that was an awfully good year. Thanks for putting this together. Surprised to see Dave Clark Five at the end. There is a transition from the British invasion going on, lots of good soul. I'd love to have all these hits on a disc.

SIN LUGAR A DUDAS LOS BEATLES BARRIERON TODO EL AÑO 65 PERO HUBIERON BUENOS GRUPOS MIS RESPETOS PARA ELLOS AL SOBRESALIR ANTE UN GRUPO COMO LOS BEATLES ERAN GENIOS

Great music great days Yorkshire lad ☺️

My mommie and my daddie we’re creating me this year and I’ll see everyone in 1966! Still and always have loved most of the music from the time I came to grace the Earth with my wit and humor and good looks! Thank you very much your welcome please!!

Loved the Surpremes. Great songs.

Waiting for someone to create a traveling time machine, so I could live the rest of my life in the 60's 😢

My God! What an amazing time to grow up in! I'm so jealous!

Such an outburst of amazing creativity!

“The Beatles” best band forever and ever

The year of The Beatles

The 60's definitely had the best music . No disco or rap shit.

This was my favorite year of music, and this video was excellently done! Great job!

Thank you Channel4Fantasy for taking the time to put this together. Good job. I was 15 in January, 16 at December. Every note and nuance of every one of these songs was absorbed into my being throughout this greatest year in pop music history.

So one of my favourite songs ever made it to number one 2 days after my bday

What a year! Hung out at Whiskey a GoGo and danced my heart away!

Very impressive film footage of all the performers!

To hear these after 50 odd years, good memories.

The Beatles in 1965 showed great superiority over their rivals. But am surprised that the Supremes almost went toe to toe with the Beatles in terms of no. 1 hits this particular year. i thought either the Rolling Stones or the Beach Boys would bw close. Yet the Supremes were the closest to the Beatles’ success in ‘65z

The Beatles forever

I was a lad of just 12 but had a band of my own in '65. Produce music to this day. I'll be 67 this year. My how time flies.

The Beatles is the no 1

Historically perhaps for the first generation of teenagers, the technology of the transistor radio, and the music industry worked together to bring music to the audience. Most of the the songs were heard first on small portable transistor radios. The music became perhaps for the first time, portable. Hi fi was introduced to the household, and from moonophonic, Sterio evolved. Production became the key. So too evolved the voice of the generation.

Just sad the way top 40 today has sunk into total homogeneous irrelevance. There is no way todays computerized dance music & throwaway lyrics are going to be remembered 50 years from now like hits of the sixties are today

I LOVE that many of the performances are LIVE in this compilation video. Makes me hungry to look up the complete performances here on youtube.

Takes me back to the really hot summer of 1965. I was 14/15.
